FALSE RAPE REPORTS TO POLICE FORM A VERY LARGE PROPORTION OF CASES, AND THIS IS AMPLY EXPLAINED

Steve Moxon (stevemoxon3@talktalk.net)

Abstract

Contra ideologically-driven, thereby scientifically-compromised claims through misrepresenting data, rape reports to police in large proportion are false, as shown by: survey findings that one-in-fourteen women admit falsely alleging male assault, 40% thus anticipating; great excess of police-recorded over crime-surveyed totals; robust studies (all reports comprehensively investigated, any found false intensively further checked) revealing rates of 30%-50%; similar estimation by best placed observers -- police investigators -- notwithstanding rape myth training. Principally for emotional gain, in often trivial circumstances, motivation varies. False (including non-deliberate) reporting is underpinned by victimhood conferring female sexual attractiveness, male consent-seeking being a turn-off, females providing only non-verbal hard-to-interpret consent cues, and female erotic self-focus (projecting female-perpetrated sexual coercion, found at male-equivalent levels).

Keywords: confabulation, emotional gain, erotic self-focus, false accusations, rape myth acceptance, sexual assault

Steve Moxon is an English independent (non-affiliated) cross-disciplinary researcher/writer of science review papers and books outlining original theory on the biological roots of human sociality, behaviour and psychology, with a special interest in the sexes—sex-difference/dichotomy. Regularly journal-published for the past fifteen years, his topics include dominance hierarchy (and associated reproductive suppression), pair-bonding, partner violence, competitiveness, stress response mechanism, the origin of the sexual divide, and why culture is biology. Throughout is a necessary bottom-up approach, excluding all ideology: an avowed stance against ‘critical social justice' ‘identity politics’, especially its core of feminism; all being non-, indeed anti-science. Steve also researches/writes about mythologies (ancient and contemporary), these being another window on understanding humanity; and is a songwriter, singer & guitarist. He resides in the Pennine hills north of Sheffield, Yorkshire, where he grew up, feels at home, and can walk or cycle through the stunning countryside of steep-sided wooded valleys and gritstone edgescurrently works as an adjunct instructor at the University of Mississippi. His research interests include national security, terrorism, enterprise crime, financial crime, and criminal justice issues affecting boys and men.
